BAKERS PEEL.

Patented Apr. 16, 1917.

Application filed September 13, 1915. Serial No. 50,548.

To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, LEON SOHLAGER, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of New York city, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bakers Peels, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to bakers peels.

One object of the present invention is to provide a peel made of sheet metal which is light, has 8111110161113 stiffness and is inexpensive to manufacture.

The various further objects and advantages will more fully appear from the detailed description and the features of novelty will be particularly pointed out in the claims.

In the drawing illustrating this invention,

Figure 1 is a plan view and Fig. 2 is a sectional elevation of one form in which my invention may be embodied.

Fig. 8 is a section taken along line 3-3, and Fig. A is a section taken along line 4l4 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 5 is a cross sectional View illustrating a modified form of stiffening ridge.

Fig. 6 is a cross sectional view illustrating another modified form of stiffening ridge.

Referring in detail to the drawing, the peel consists of a blade 10 of light sheet metal preferably aluminum or aluminum alloy strengthened along the edges by overturned longitudinally tapering ridges 11. Referring to Fig. 2 it will be noted that the ridges 11 decrease in height from the handle portion of the blade to the extremity of the same.

To provide a socket for the handle 12, the blade has preferably integral therewith a socket portion 13 provided with the upstanding walls 14, and mating with the socket portion 13 is a separable portion 15 having preferably walls 16 to interengage with the walls 14:. The socket halves, one integral with the blade and the other attached thereto, form a substantial socket for the handle in which the latter is attached preferably by the bolts 17.

For stifiening the socket, ribs 18 and 19 are pressed out of the metal and extend longitudinally of the socket. These ribs may have branching therefrom the transverse preferably curved ribs 20 and 20 across the flat portion 21 of the separable socket portion 15 and the adjacent portion of the blade. This gives the socket member strength and stifi'ness at the junction of the blade. Any suitable means may be used for attaching the separable socket member to the blade. I have shown rivets 22 constituting attaching means. -However, any other suitable means may be adopted for this purose. p In the modified construction of Fig. 5, instead of the outwardly curved ridges 11,

inwardly curved ridges 11 are employed.

Otherwise the construction is identical with the first form illustrated.

In the further modified form illustrated in Fig. 6, the ridges 11 curve upward above the plane of the blade 10 and then down again below the plane of the blade 10, forming ridges on both sides of the blade. Otherwise the construction is the same as that of the other forms disclosed.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent 1. A bakers peel comprising a blade member having upstanding ridges formed at the marginal and longitudinal edges thereof, a socket portion for the handle, one half of which is integral with the blade and the other half of which is attached thereto, strengthening ribs formed in the portions of the socket, and means for attaching the handle to the socket.

2. A bakers peel formed entirely of sheet metal comprising a blade portion having curved longitudinally tapering ridges bent over from the material thereof at the longitudinal edges, a socket portion one half of which is integral with the blade and the other-half attached thereto, and reinforcing means extending longitudinally of the socket portion.

3. A bakers peel formed entirely of sheet metal comprising a blade portion having curved longitudinally tapering ridges bent over from the material thereof at the longitudinal edges, a socket portion one half of which is integral with the blade and the other half attached thereto, and reinforcing means extending longitudinally and transversely of the socket portion.

4. A bakers peel formed from a single sheet of thin metal, stiffening members at each side of the sheet, a transverse groove formed in the sheet, a longitudinal groove formed in the sheet, a member having a V 7 of metal, the edges thereof bent over to form transverse and a longitudinal groove to be secured to the top of the peel to strengthen the peel and form a handleiholding device.

5. A bakers peel formed of a single sheet to the grooves in the peel, and means for 10 securing a handle therein.

Signed at New York city, in the county of New York and State of New York, this 7th day of September, A. D. 1915. stifiiening means, one end of said peel being LEON SGHLAGER. pressed out to form a longitudinal and transverse groove, a member formed of the same material having grooves corresponding Witnesses:
